Chapter 1179
Amelia didn’t think that keeping such promises was anything to be proud of.
Ethan was smiling when he said this, but he didn’t hide any of the sinister and murderous tone in his voice.
“You don’t want the Moore family and Kings Sect to be able to return to China?” she asked Ethan as she looked at him.
“Would you put a time bomb in your own house?” asked Ethan in return.
Amelia’s gaze immediately changed.
Ethan only said one phrase and she understood many things from it.
She laughed and her gaze became more seductive now.
“You’re a time bomb too, but I hope to see you in my house.”
Amelia reached a hand out to take Ethan’s hand, but he quietly moved his hand away and rolled his eyes at her.
“Miss Amelia, if you can behave decently, then we can continue to discuss business. Otherwise, this deal is off.”
“But we’re already working together.”
“Then I’ll call it off immediately.” Ethan wasn’t polite about this at all. “This is where I draw the line. I don’t sell my body, you know?”
Amelia couldn’t help but laugh and nod.
“Alright, alright. It looks like this method doesn’t work on you at all, so I’ll give up now.”
She resumed her aloof look. “What’s next? The Moore family isn’t going to take this lying down. They’ll definitely find all sorts of ways to send their fighters back here.”
“And once they come back, how are you going to handle them?”
Amelia was really curious and wanted to know what else Ethan had up his sleeve.
She wanted to know how he dealt with the Moore family and how he could actually keep a frightening power like Kings Sect out of this country.
“Miss Amelia, if I were you,” Ethan glanced at her and got up. “I wouldn’t ask. Because once you do that, you would just look stupid.”
Amelia was shocked.
Nobody had ever called her stupid.
As the heiress to the L’Oreal family, she had always been the embodiment of a genius. Her results were always the best and many famous institutions fought to enroll her before she was 16, and she got an MBA at 20 years old.
All these years, the L’Oreal family businesses had risen by another level under her management, and so they let her have 30% of the shares.
And now Ethan was calling her stupid?
Amelia stood up and there was shock on her face. “You’re the first one to call me stupid.”
“And I won’t be the last one,” said Ethan from outside the door.
……
At this time.
The sea ports weren’t as busy in the night like they were in the day.
All the ships docked in the port were all chained together in a row.
In the middle of the night, the low sound of an engine could be heard coming from further out at sea. The sound wasn’t very loud, but it caused tremors in people’s ears.
In the darkness, there was no light at all as a ship slowly approached the port.
Some men were waiting anxiously at the dock and kept looking around to see if anything was happening.
“It’s here!” someone called out quietly.
He immediately turned on his flashlight, then turned it off, then on again, and repeated it three times. Someone on the incoming ship also did the same thing with his flashlight.
This was the signal between them and it had always been this throughout the years.
The ship turned off its engine and used its remaining propulsion to draw near to the jetty without making additional noise.
“This one is really worth a lot of money, eh?” said one of them with a grin. He was so excited.
“Shut up!” said another man who turned around to glare at the first man. “Don’t spout nonsense or you’d die! Don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
